This monograph brings together the presentations from the nineteenth John Bowlby Memorial Conference in 2012 organised by The Bowlby Centre. It explored the growing role of the body in relational psychotherapy over the last decade and to bring us up to date in thinking about the relationship between attachment the body and trauma. Questions addressed included: How do we anchor the new understandings we are gaining within the framework of attachment? How might the integration of these ideas about the body change what we do in the consulting room? What impact might this have on the therapy relationship? Can we maintain and respect the place of a secure attuned attachment between therapist and client and its healing potential at the centre of our therapeutic work? |Talking Bodies How do we Integrate Working with the Body in Psychotherapy from an Attachment and Relational Perspective? | Mental Health
